Gilbert, Jordan Horowitz, Johnny Galecki, Cast: Johnny Galecki, Anna Friel, Oliver Platt, Anjelica Huston, Kyle Gallner „A dark comedy (…) [with] many potent laughs throughout (…) a fantasy (…) which call to mind past cherished classics such as GREMILINS and ET.“ (Cinapse) „An odd and unexpected satire on dieting fads and self-help culture“ (BuzzFedd) „A sweetly comedic horror film“ (Austin Chronicle) „A pleasure from beginning to end“ (www.birthmoviesdeath.com) Down, out, and heartbroken, Paul attends a spiritual retreat to cleanse himself and fix his broken life but soon discovers that the cleanse releases more than everyday toxins… a lot more. The debut is a humorous, weird, and soulful fantasy that examines how we deal with the things that weigh us down in life, asking the all-important question: given the opportunity to face your demons, what would you do? |
